This game's open world is just a show window with nothing to interact with, it's so shallow, my immersion was burned to the ground when I roamed the city the first time to see what is there to find.
All you need to know here ! Set combat to medium but puzzle to hard, I can recommend good headphones and a gamepad, I play this with a dualsense controller, the game supports ps glyphs. Doesn't run as well as an RE Engine game but at least THEY release their game on gog.
The open world rpg experience you have been waiting for ages that keeps you up all night. The kind of game that bethesda cannot pull off anymore, you remember ? If these people owned fallout, we would be in heaven.
The first immersive rpg I played in ages that leaves me addictive and excited. They pulled off what bethesda didn't in ages, also a huge improvement to the first game, everything feels more polished. Runs very well in my opinion: rtx 3060 12gb 5600x 32gb configuration: all settings to ultra, shadows high dlss 4, quality resolution: 2560×1440 fps: around 45 Without any special tweaking stuff, just editing the settings for 5 min.
Technical stuff: 5600x, 32gb ram, rtx 3060 12gb vram I play this game at 1440p, all settings epic except shadows and distance, no frame gen. fps at towns: 30 in the wilderness: 40+ Game looks amazing. ---------------------------------------------- Content: Alot has been said already about missing features that might break your immersion and I won't repeat that again. So here are a few of my personal impressions about what breaks my immersion: - Sitting at a campfire lets you not do anything, you can't open your bag, look at the map, nothing, you just sit - There is no tobacco in the game, you can't smoke but other npcs can - You can't sit on any chairs - There is no workbench to look at your guns and modify your weapons, you just do it in the menu - In the 11 hours I played I haven't met any female npcs, the zone strikes me as a wiener party, yeah that is breaking my immersion, you know why ? Because the world isn't a wiener party, nowhere.
They made a casual cinematic third person adventure minimap action game out of what was once a stellar gory hack n slash game. There are plenty other games I would rather play instead. I bought this on ps4, on the same day I brought it back to the store and got my money back.
I am at chapter 4 now, the story can be capturing at times but often you are just tired of the long shallow dialogues. More important: the gameplay doesn't help overcome the boring cutscenes -> it is dull, repetitive and boring, not sure I will continue. I don't really feel like I have to pay attention and have to come up with a strategy with the turn-based system. I would have loved to set a higher difficulty right off start, but you need to unlock this in a first playthrough. Now I know why I always ignored this game, my stomach was right. I'm glad I got it for 13€.
Played on hard difficulty for 10+ hours First hours are fine and makes you wonder, but as soon as roam the open world, the immersion breaks fast, there is nothing interesting in this world. The game doesn't do enough to keep the illusion of a living world up. Service places are just mock ups, there isn't enough interaction. Combat doesn't feels satisfying and rather clunky (physics suck), not addiction to gameplay is being triggered here. Medipacks and grenades auto regenerate -> boring. Consumables have no actual meaning -> boring. This is an open world action shooter, neither does is have the strength of an open world that makes you curious like rdr2 or elder scrolls, nor does it offer the addictive gameplay of a good action shooter like metro exodus. I hope my refund is being approved. I payed 60€+ for main game and addon, but I'm already bored to dead with the main game and done with this game altogether.
